i had to do that once with a perl script i was writing
because there were a variable number of "options" that
could be passed in, yet i needed to have a fixed number
of paramaters going into the script.
i used: ./prog.cgi?opts=x:1,y:2,z:3
sort-of like a primitive form of php's ability to pass
arrays on the command line. i was using PHP before it
was even written ;)
